less-framework
==============

[](#less-framework)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Run the following

```
bower install less-framework --save

```

Then include the standards in your project. At the top of your **app.less**, include the **standards**. In a standard installation of Laravel 5.1 this looks a little something like this:

```
@import "../../../vendor/bower_components/less-framework/standards";

```

The next time you run **gulp**, the standards will be imported.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Please view the wiki to find information on the included components:

This package uses bootstrap grid, the documentation of which can be found here:

### Initial Setup

[](#initial-setup)

It is required to set up your colour scheme. In your app.less file, add the following variables (with your own colours):

```
@primary: #ff5722;
@primary-toolbar: #E64A19;
@primary-light: #FFCCBC;
@accent: #0091EA;

```

To effectively choose your colours, it is worth looking here:

Overriding
----------

[](#overriding)

**It is recommended that you do not update the files in the framework directly, as they will be overwritten when an update is published.**

Instead, you should create a **modules** and/or a **components** folder within your *resources/assets/less*. Include any of these within your app.less.
